Method RC 6x32 12mm Offset 17mm Hex Adaptor Traxxas UDR MTDHA12001BLK

Overview

The Method RC 6x32/12mm Offset 17mm Aluminium Hex Adaptor is a precision-engineered component designed specifically for RC enthusiasts in the UK who are upgrading their Traxxas UDR with Method RC Terraform Tyres on Switch Rims. These hex adaptors serve as the critical interface between your wheels and your vehicle's hub, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance. Whether you're a serious competitor, weekend basher, or dedicated hobbyist, quality hex adaptors are essential for maintaining wheel integrity and ensuring consistent handling across multiple wheel-to-wheel transfers.

Built from premium 6061 billet aluminium and finished in black anodised coating, this two-piece set is engineered for longevity and repeated use. The adaptors are specifically calibrated to work in perfect harmony with Method RC's 6x32mm bolt-pattern wheels, providing the precise 12mm offset required for proper wheel clearance and suspension geometry on your UDR. Whether you're preparing your RC car UK setup for track days, weekend bashings, or competitive racing, these hex adaptors deliver the quality and precision that serious RC hobbyists demand.

The black anodised finish not only looks professional but also provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability. These adaptors are designed to be transferred easily from wheel to wheel, making them an economical choice for collectors and enthusiasts who run multiple wheel and tyre combinations on their vehicles. The precision manufacturing means no wobble, no play, and no compromises when it comes to wheel mounting security.

Key Features

• 6061 Billet Aluminium Construction — Machined from high-grade 6061 billet aluminium, these hex adaptors offer an excellent balance of lightweight strength and durability, ensuring they can withstand the demands of regular RC car UK usage without unnecessary weight penalty.
• Black Anodised Finish — The professional-grade black anodised coating provides superior corrosion resistance and a refined appearance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and extending the lifespan of your adaptors through repeated use and exposure to outdoor conditions.
• 12mm Offset Specification — The precisely calibrated 12mm offset is measured from the mounting surface of the wheel (not the centre point), ensuring proper wheel clearance and maintaining your UDR's suspension geometry and handling characteristics for optimal on-track or off-road performance.
• 17mm Hex Size — The 17mm hex size is specifically engineered to match the Traxxas UDR's hub specifications, providing a secure connection that eliminates play and ensures repeatable, consistent handling.
• 6x32mm Bolt Pattern Compatibility — These adaptors work seamlessly with any Method RC wheel featuring the 6x32mm bolt pattern, where the 6 represents the number of mounting screws and 32mm represents the distance from one bolt hole to another across the wheel face, allowing compatibility with multiple wheel designs.
• Wheel-to-Wheel Transfer Capability — Designed for easy removal and installation, these adaptors are ideal for enthusiasts who maintain multiple wheel and tyre combinations, allowing quick swaps between setups without requiring separate adaptors for each wheel.
• Purpose-Built for UDR and Terraform Tyres — While compatible with any 6x32mm Method RC wheel, these adaptors are specifically engineered and tested to work perfectly with the Traxxas UDR platform when paired with Method RC Terraform Tyres on Switch Rims (part number MTD1200).
• Set of Two Adaptors — Each purchase includes two hex adaptors, providing enough components for a complete axle set on your RC vehicle, saving you money compared to purchasing single units separately.

Technical Performance

These hex adaptors represent the intersection of precision engineering and practical RC hobby requirements. Manufactured from 6061 billet aluminium, one of the most trusted materials in RC applications, they deliver the strength-to-weight ratio that modern RC enthusiasts demand. The 6061 aluminium alloy is renowned for its workability, corrosion resistance, and machinability, making it ideal for precision hex adaptor production where tolerances matter. The black anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, significantly improving durability and corrosion resistance compared to raw aluminium. This coating protects against dirt, moisture, and UV exposure encountered during regular RC car UK usage, whether that's in dry conditions, damp grass, or sandy environments. The 12mm offset is precision-engineered based on Method RC's testing with the Traxxas UDR platform, ensuring that when combined with Terraform Tyres on Switch Rims, you achieve the optimal ride height, suspension geometry, and handling balance that the UDR platform is designed for. The 17mm hex size provides a substantial contact interface with your vehicle's hubs, minimising stress concentration and reducing the risk of stripping or wear over time. With proper installation, these adaptors will provide reliable service through countless runs, transfers between wheels, and seasons of hobby use. The precision machining ensures concentricity, meaning each adaptor runs perfectly true when mounted, eliminating any wobble that could affect handling or tyre wear patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these hex adaptors suitable for my Traxxas UDR? — Yes, these adaptors are specifically designed and tested to work perfectly with the Traxxas UDR platform. They are particularly recommended when you're using Method RC Terraform Tyres on Switch Rims (part number MTD1200), as this combination is the primary application these adaptors were engineered for. However, they are compatible with any Method RC wheel using the 6x32mm bolt pattern.
• What does the 12mm offset mean, and why does it matter? — The 12mm offset is measured from the wheel's mounting surface (not the wheel centre), and it determines how far your wheel sits outward from the hub. This offset is critical for achieving the correct ride height, wheel clearance relative to the suspension, and overall handling balance on your UDR. Using the correct offset ensures your vehicle handles as intended by Method RC and maintains proper suspension geometry.
• Can I use these adaptors on other vehicles besides the UDR? — These adaptors will work with any vehicle that has UDR-compatible hubs and any wheel featuring the 6x32mm bolt pattern. However, they are specifically engineered and tested for the Traxxas UDR, so fitment and compatibility with other platforms should be verified before purchase.
• What is the 6x32mm bolt pattern specification? — The 6x32mm designation indicates that your wheel has 6 bolt holes for mounting, and the distance from one bolt hole to another, measured across the wheel face from side to side, is 32mm. This is a specific standard that ensures compatibility between adaptors and wheels.
• How do I transfer these adaptors between different wheels? — Simply unbolt the adaptors from your current wheel (you may need a hex key or Allen wrench depending on your wheel design), then install them on your new wheel using the same bolt pattern. The adaptors are designed for repeated installation and removal, making them economical for hobbyists with multiple wheel sets.
• What makes the black anodised finish special compared to standard aluminium? — The black anodised finish is an electrochemically applied protective coating that hardens the aluminium surface, dramatically improving resistance to corrosion, scratches, and weathering. This means your adaptors will maintain their appearance and functionality through seasons of RC hobby use, whether you're running indoors or outdoors in variable UK weather conditions.
• Are these adaptors suitable for beginners? — Yes, these adaptors are suitable for all skill levels. Installation is straightforward—simply remove your current wheel, install the adaptors, then mount your new wheel. No special tools or expertise is required beyond standard hex key wrenches for wheel bolts.
• How do these compare to plastic or steel hex adaptors? — Aluminium hex adaptors offer several advantages over plastic alternatives: superior strength, better heat dissipation, longer service life, and the ability to be anodised for enhanced corrosion resistance. Compared to steel, aluminium adaptors are lighter weight, which reduces unsprung mass on your vehicle and improves suspension response and handling characteristics—a significant advantage for RC cars where every gram matters.
